barton fink is one weird flick. it's a joel coen film,so that kinda shows what direction it's heading. it's a period flick with an excellent cast. I would define it as odd meets bizzare.

Court Rejects Pussy Riot Member’s Early Release
by ROMAS DABRUKAS
April 26, 2013

(ZUBOVA POLYANA, Russia) — A Russian court on Friday rejected a plea for early release from prison by a member of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot, whose provocative songs and prosecution have made them a symbol of the country’s opposition movement.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, who has been in custody since her arrest last March, is serving a two-year sentence handed down after the band staged an irreverent protest against President Vladimir Putin in Moscow’s main cathedral...

I'd've loved this one even if it weren't in no movie.

You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the fortune you seek. But first...first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see things wonderful to tell. You shall see a...a cow...on the roof of a cotton house. Ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind—yea, your hearts grow weary—still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation

I came to see if anybody else knew about him. Well done! I didn't until a few weeks ago when I saw Alison Krauss & Union Station. An awesome show and when he opened his mouth I said "he sure sounds like the Soggy Bottom dude". Alison helpfully confirmed that soon after and they sang "Constant Sorrow". So much fun!

I'm not sure I'd want a 'soggy bottom', though. Rather reminds me of a village in West Yorkshire, out of Heptonstall, called Slack Bottom

 
My wife refers to my family as "hill folk", which is not far from accurate.  

In this context, Bottom is used to denote a low geographic location that would generally be in a valley or any place that would be closer to sea level than the majority of the rest of the region.  Gravity, being the bitch that she is, would draw excess moisture into the "bottoms", thus making them generally more damp than the surrounding countryside.  

Soggy Bottom would be a place, much like Haga Ridge (which is inexplicably pronounced "Hagie" by my fellow hill folk) and "Two Mile."

I'm a Dapper Dan man, myself. BTW - soggy bottom refers to flood plains where the poor - former slaves, sharecroppers
often had to live. The state of Mississippi was not so enlightened...

Yep. Track 4, Disc 2

Interesting - not many on this side of the pond are knowledgable of bluegrass music's influence on country (which came later). Its really the marriage of bluegrass, or white hillbilly music, and the blues which gave birth to country.

I am a big fan of the classics as well especially Ralph Stanley, but think this song is just fine. There is at least one Stanley staple on this album BTW.
